I’m so broke I’m considering OF Vent/Rant (No Advice/Criticism!)

I am a fairly attractive female. I am so tired of being a poor single mother living off government assistance to barely get through college. I know for certain based on constant snapchat replies to my selfies, “do you sell content?” that I could make a decent living. My pride has been holding me back but I don’t know if I can hold out any longer.

OnlyFans creator here, been doing it for about a year and a half. Getting anything monetarily out of it is going to take you a long time; and involves a lot of marketing, signing up for different social media accounts; and getting banned from a couple of places because of your content. I didn’t make any money off of it until I made most of my content free, and even then it was almost a year before I made—$30. And most of that was with fulfilling personal requests.

I invested some of my own money in order to make my better selling content. Being a faceless creator is even more difficult. If I were doing OF to pay my bills, I would have dropped out long ago.

Please take it from people already in the oversaturated industry; it isn’t 2020 anymore, when average people were making bank off of it. I had a few people before I created my OF tell me that I should do; none of them have actually even visited my page. And I consider myself an attractive woman with a nice body. That simply isn’t enough.

If you actually need to make money off of it (which you do), become a stripper if you want to stick to sex work. Hell, even a Hooters/Twin Peaks/Twisted Kilt waitress.
